Chicken Teriyaki with Vegetables

I saw a baked chicken/pineapple teriyaki recipe and wanted to try it.  But, I didn't have any canned pineapple and didn't want to bake.  However, I did have chicken plus some vegetables I wanted to get rid of.  I do not like garlic (and so garlic is not in the recipe).  And, I like molasses better than the brown sugar (which was called for in the baked teriyaki recipe).  It has much more taste than brown sugar. Here's the recipe:

In a large skillet, place 
1 c “baby” carrots 
½ c chopped broccoli 
1 c asparagus, cut into approximately 3” lengths
 Spray with 
cooking oil 
Saute. Then add 
1 diced chicken breast (about 2/3 lb) 
salt and pepper to taste 
Cook until chicken is browned and vegetables are soft. Sprinkle 
2 T flour 
over chicken mixture and let brown.  Add 
¼ c juice (I used Sunny-D.) 
2 T wine (I used what was open.) 
¼ t ground ginger 
1 T soy sauce 
1 T molasses 
½ c water, or more 
Cook until sauce is thickened and chicken is at 165F or above. Serve over cooked rice.
